A host of names, some realistic, some nonsensical, have featured on a long list of bookies odds or discussions as to who the next Hearts manager will be. That decision is unlikely to happen anytime soon, increasing the speculation as to the person who will eventually succeed Craig Levein. Interim boss Austin MacPhee is expected to be in the dugout at Kilmarnock on Saturday. But who are the leading candidates according to the bookmakers?
